When a couple contemplates therapy, they usually feel stuck, helpless and do not know how to help their relationship move forward. I believe it is important to engage you both in a manner that makes each of you feel comfortable. I will help you both express your sadness, anger, frustration, betrayal or any other emotion, by introducing new forms of communication. I can used a more structured approach that involves directing the couple in their communication to help break negative patterns. I can also use a less structures approach that helps the couple reflect upon their interactions.
I believe that each person seeks a certain type of partner and tries to replicate a relationship dynamic that feels comfortable. In biology and Ecology this is called Homeostasis. It is a natural balance in a relationship, that can contribute to the sense of being stuck. When a couple experiences a crisis, the previous dynamic might not be enough to help the couple get through the crisis. I will help you create a dynamic and will help you find the joy, passion and intimacy in your relationship.
